    What, from your expierence, is the best shampoo to use for getting your dreads nice and tight (and also not so fluffy looking)? I have some sundog shampoo I've been using and a knotty boy shampoo bar I haven't used yet. My dreads are getting more fluffy and loose as each day goes by it seems. I'm looking for wonderful shampoo to help them out. Any advice?

    The knotty boy poo works well. But it does leave your dreads fluffy for about a day or so after washing em. The DreadHeadHQ poo works alright, but I didnt really like it, but it felt like it tighted up my dreads alot better!

    Sea salt water and lemon juice.

    Go natural man :) and learn to love the fluff.

    yeah, I find washing makes them puffier, thats ok. Swimming in the ocean helps alot. You could try getting some spson salts and soaking in the bath. I've got this essentail oil mixture I put near my roots after I shower. It smells so nice and takes the puffiness down a notch.
